Greg Growden has high hopes for the star-studded Brumbies in this season's Super 14 in The Sydney Morning Herald.

"The Brumbies believe the push by SANZAR to revitalise rugby could see a team already tagged the Real Madrid of this year's Super 14 earn a Barcelona-style reputation for inventive and entertaining play.

"While some provinces, including the Waratahs, have been reserved about a campaign designed to see southern hemisphere sides play more exciting rugby, the Brumbies have embraced it, and are hopeful it could push their galacticos line-up into the Super Rugby semi-finals for the first time in six seasons.

"While their stocks have been bolstered by the signing of Matt Giteau and Rocky Elsom, giving the Brumbies a near Test quality line-up, their aspirations have also been aided by an official campaign aimed at freeing up the game and giving greater assistance to teams in possession."
